ESIC Tax Offsets to help with
your venture’s investibility.

What is ESIC?

Established in 2015 as part of the “Ideas Boom” movement, the ESIC tax incentive was designed to boost local investment towards innovative companies. Having ESIC status amongst a pool of other investible companies can make the difference towards a successful fundraise.

What are the main benefits for ESIC Investors?

The main drawcards for qualifying investors include:

non-refundable carry forward tax offsets equal to 20% of the amount paid for up to $1m in qualifying investment.

reduced capital gains tax (CGT) treatment, where capital gains on qualifying shares that are continuously held for at least 12 months and less than ten years may be disregarded.
